Anything taco related is a-okay with me. Especially this Taco Breakfast Casserole.
You know, it’s funny. Anytime I find myself in the kitchen (which is a lot), I always find myself making something that can be filed under the “Tex-Mex” category. Being an Arizona girl, I guess it just makes sense. Hot sauce on everything, and tacos whenever. It’s a great life. And I’m here to live it.
The reason I’m so excited about this taco breakfast casserole, is because it is a secret weapon. You may be asking yourself, “Brooke, how on earth is this breakfast a secret weapon?” Well lemme just tell you this, one bite of this taco breakfast casserole and you will feel like you made yourself a gourmet breakfast, when in all reality you heated up your Tuesday morning meal prep. Can you say hello to having fifteen extra minutes to make yourself presentable? Cuz I can.
Meal prep to the rescue!
Of course this Taco Breakfast Casserole would be delish as part of your Sunday morning brunch spread. But where I really think you’re going to love this addition to your life, will most definitely be meal prep to be enjoyed throughout the week. Whether you are starting whole-30, your diet is Paleo, or you are just looking for a convenient breakfast to get you through the week without having to make a mess every morning.

Now the recipe I included is just a guide. If you had say…. zucchini you needed to use up, you know what I would do? Chop it up and throw it in. I had mushrooms in my fridge and that’s what I did. I think to make it the most taco-y? lol taco-y is now a word in my vocab. But, keep the seasoning, the peppers, and the meat the same, and get creative! I hope you guys enjoy, and let me know any add-ins you came up with!
